Oregon QB Dante Moore Leads Double-Overtime Win Over Penn State

Dante Moore orchestrated a 30-24 double-overtime upset at No. 3 Penn State, completing 29 of 39 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns and delivering the game‑winner before freshman safety Dillon Thieneman’s second‑overtime interception sealed the victory. Moore repeatedly made clutch plays — including a heads‑up improvisation on a broken screen, key fourth‑down conversions and a long stretch of consecutive completions — while absorbing big hits in front of a 111,015 White Out crowd. Oregon coach Dan Lanning and teammates lavished praise on Moore’s poise and development, with Lanning calling him possibly the best quarterback in college football and noting the performance should bolster Heisman conversations. Analysts and a prominent QB trainer compared Moore’s smooth, efficient style to Jordan Love and said he projects as a top NFL prospect for the 2026 draft, while observers noted Moore outplayed Penn State’s Drew Allar in the marquee matchup. The win pushed Oregon to 5-0 (2-0 in conference play) and represented a signature road victory for the Ducks against elite competition.
